GENERAL
OBJECTIVE
Analyze the characteristics of the interior space, luminosity and environmental
media in relation to the shape and location of the Kaufmann house.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
- Describe the various formal elements and spatial
characteristics of the Kaufmann house.
- Examine weather conditions through the simulation of a
solar study.
- Develop the reconstruction and animation of the
Kaufmann house and its immediate surroundings.

thermal comfort in the interior spaces of the Kaufmann house.

NEUTRAL
Richard Josef Neutra was born in 1892, he was an Austrian architect,
later nationalized as an American, in 1923 he emigrated to the United
States, where he met Frank Lloyd Wright and with whom he worked
until 1926. Considered one of the most important architects of the
Modern Movement.

Throughout his life he designed and built more than 50 works. He

died in 1970 at the age of 78.

WIND SPEED

The wind speed is 3 m/s from the graph it can be obtained that the difference
in wind speed at the location is minimal. In Palm Spring, California,
northeasterly winds are intense, so the project design must provide for solid
walls to avoid strong desert winds.

KAUFMANN FAMILY

The Kaufmann House was a winter home designed for the

Kaufmann family, in which the primary goal was to offer
“Rescue from the cold Pennsylvania climate.”

First choice was Frank Lloyd Wright who had already worked
previously.
After seeing Wright's most recent project “Taliesin West” he
decided on Richard Neutra.

In 1945 Kaufmann acquired land in San Jacinto, construction

would begin in 1946 with an area of 350 m2 and a cost of
300.00 USD.
HISTORY

The home was commissioned by Edgar J. Kaufmann as a

desert retreat from harsh winters (1946)

Kaufmann died in 1955, the house remained empty for several

years.

Singer Barry Manilow and Eugene V. Klein, there were several

renovations including a patio and the addition of a media
room.

In 1992 the house was purchased by Edwards Harris. They restored

the original design after Neutra's death. They bought several adjoining
plots, rebuilt a swimming pool and maintained a tennis court.

Today many critics place the Kaufmann House among the most
important houses of the 20th century in the United States.
CONCEP
T

Neutra was not based on form, but on an

architecture where the human being was the
main objective of inspiration, which unites
“Humanity with Nature” that is typical of the
space, and this connection to its way of
seeing, creates architecture .

Neutra achieves a balanced

cohesion between the “machinistic
and rigid modernism” of Le
Corbusier with the “organic
sensibility” of Frank Lloyd Wright
